aka Roger Skoff writes about the best way to approach improving your system at Positive Feedback. Ignore the analogy between eggs & audio systems, and the lesson boils down to this:
I suppose that's why IEMs are inaudible below several kHz. Apparently, neither the author nor PF's editorial staff could spend the few seconds' thought needed to realize this before they published...Even with extreme bass response available to you, unless your room is big enough (the room here being the “smallest hole”), you won’t be able to hear it. In any room, the lowest frequency that can be propagated is limited by the longest dimension of the room and its wavelength is equal to twice that longest dimension. To find out what your room’s lowest bass frequency is, just multiply the room’s longest dimension (18 feet, for example) by 2 (to recognize that it’s only half a wavelength) and divide it into 1120 feet per second, the nominal speed of sound in air at sea level.
